How much does the SW BA 622 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the SW BA 622 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The SW BA 622 is a twin-spindle machining center with a cubic work space: 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, Y and Z for each spindle, and 600 mm (23.6 in) between the spindles. SW's feature list for the BA 6 adds powerful spindles to the usual series points, and the table backs that with six spindle packages across three interface sizes.
The two HSK-A100 versions are the torque end: 28 kW with 340 Nm, or 30 kW with 375 Nm, both rated at 25% ED with a 1-10,000 rpm range. The HSK-A80 version gives 42 kW at 25% ED and 200 Nm at 10% ED, up to 12,500 rpm. Three HSK-A63 versions cover lighter work: 28 kW with 80 Nm, 45 kW with 125 Nm, and 27 kW with 200 Nm.
That spread tells you what the machine is for. With HSK-A100 and 375 Nm per spindle it is a cast-iron and steel machine for cylinder heads, turbine housings and steering knuckles. With HSK-A63 at 45 kW it is a fast aluminium machine in the same envelope.
Note the duty-cycle ratings. ED figures of 25% and 10% describe short-term load, not continuous output, so ask SW for the continuous ratings before sizing a roughing process. SW's page prints the interference circle for this model with an unclear figure, and it is left out of the table here.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Six. HSK-A100: 28 kW with 340 Nm, or 30 kW with 375 Nm. HSK-A80: 42 kW with 200 Nm. HSK-A63: 28 kW with 80 Nm, 45 kW with 125 Nm, or 27 kW with 200 Nm. All values are per spindle; the HSK-A100 and HSK-A80 power figures are given at 25% ED.
02
ED is the duty cycle. A rating at 25% ED is the load the spindle can deliver for a quarter of a cycle, not continuously. SW's table gives the HSK-A100 torque figures of 340 Nm and 375 Nm at 25% ED and the 200 Nm of the HSK-A80 spindle at 10% ED.
03
600 mm (23.6 in) in each of X, Y and Z, per spindle. The spindle distance is also 600 mm (23.6 in). Of SW's size 6 machines in this table it has the longest Z; the four-spindle BA 642 has 500 mm (19.7 in).
04
The BA 642 has four spindles 300 mm (11.8 in) apart with 300 mm of X each and no HSK-A100 version. The BA 622 has two spindles 600 mm (23.6 in) apart, 600 mm of X each, and is the model for large parts and for the 340 Nm and 375 Nm spindles.
